Club Tool Storage

With the chance that Lisa and I might move to Oregon, I need to locate a member that would like to hold onto the club tools, and such. Preferably it would be someone that has a home garage.  As there is a SNAP ON Engine analyzer, the Club Scan tool, and several other items that I would donate for club use.   I may even donate Nigel's old Tool Box which might make a great stand for the engine analyzer with cupboards for parts and stuff. 

Please post up your names and locations so we can be choose who gets all this.   If no one can take it all, I am sure we will be able to split it up.

This won't happen TODAY, however there are a few donations to the club like the Engine Scanner that could go to the right person as well as the small tool box that I would send out as soon as someone comes and provides transport.

Hate to agree with Ken but he is right...but they are not going anywhere...wishful thinking.

I am the same as you Ken...Any input people?

Alright here we go.

Club domain and billing for that will be taken care of by Tim on his Credit card. The club funds need to be paid back to him. I will continue to manage the domain hosting of the site.  Note the Domain hosting is not the site itself its just where we store a great number of files and the name registration itself as well as all the email accounts.

The Forum is a separate entity on its own hosted through Graeme.

The Club prizes, books and related will be also he brought to the meetings by Tim.  The prize draw will either come to an end once the current stuff is gone, unless we get donations or someone is willing to commit one day a month to read through the CDN Tire Flyers, Xs Cargo Flyers, Princess Auto Flyers and buy prizes when they are on HUGE sales.  IE when CDN Tire puts a $50 tool on sale for 9.99 we grab it.

I am going to request that Glenn hold the cash box or at the least take care of the money and give the cash box to Tim at the end of the meetings.  He has been the one helping Lisa at the sign in table.

I would like to see Damian, Brian, Tristan and Patrick work on the meeting Minuit's.  They are all great at public speaking.   Damian you seem to be amazing at setting up runs and I think with Kens help the club will have lots of fun stuff to do.

Damian the cost on the locker is right around $115 per month.  I would prefer to sell my contents in the locker as one batch, or allow you to pick out a few items from the stash for yourself each month to cover the extra cost.  Lisa and I will continue paying our portion until my parts are gone or someone else has taken over my area.  If someone wants to make a bulk offer on everything I have in the locker, I would be open to offers.  There are only 3 things that I NEED to keep.  My spare engine as the motor in the 88 is about to blow up any day now.  My snow tires for the 88 and the glove for the dash that I have been coveting all these years.

There will be other Tools that I am going to be selling.  2 Boxes actually

A Matercraft top/bottom box combo and a Waterloo top/bottom box combo.  Both will be filled with tools and have an asking price of $400 per set.  However probably more like 300 for a club member.  Lisa is considering selling both Her Fiero's the V8 and the nicer V6 show car. I don't want her to, but if someone makes a decent offer they may go and we will just buy her another one in the states. 

Back to the club.

       I don't want to see it die.  I love this club and it has been my baby for years well 13 years to be exact.  Lisa and I have put our heart and soul into it. 

I will make a software package available to anyone that wants to do photo hosting on the site so they can do the gallery's like I do where I post up 50 pics at a shot.   (Express Thumbnail Gallery Maker, a photo Image Rezier Tool, Filezilla to upload the pics, and request login and passwords to access the club server.)

Now the question is, Damian do you have the time or ability to move this stuff to the storage locker.  My trailer is not insured at the moment and Lisa has the Blazer tied up most of the time hauling stuff around.  My last day at work (well not last day as I am thinking that I might come back, in a few months once I get a better feel for what it would be like in Oregon, they have agreed to hold my job as long as I stay in contact with them.)  My last day will be next Friday Sept 2nd.  That coming Saturday is the big move and re-arrange day. 

         There is a ton more stuff to discuss and talk about.   I'd like to keep an open dialog going here.  So feel free to post up your suggestions.

I have had a few requests for info on the tool boxes, here is the pic, the picture makes them look shorter than they are, but they are both about 4 ft tall and on casters to make moving them around a "clean" garage fairly easy. 

      Depending on who the buyer is, I will stock the tool boxes diffrently. Heck I could even substitute some of the tools for Fiero parts like dist stuff, and or sensors and misc.
